For the man who's passed all tests in my life so far...

Your unending compassion
Your forgiveness abound
Your relentless aura
Your upside down frown

Your playful laughter
Your appreciation for details
Your concern for the fallen
Your support 'un-curtailed'

I miss your wise words
Your delighful presence
We had our disagreements
Yes, I had taken so much offense

Grown from a sketch to a mural
From wooded parks to concrete jungles
From a grain of sand to a pearl
But you need not worry, I'll always be your little girl.

Distance makes your hearts fonder. Often quoted in context of non-platonic relationships. But turns out, that this quote holds true for all relationships alike.
My father and I have always bonded on a very special level. We have had the deepest of conversations, the most intelligent of discussions, and the most heated of arguments; he has been a friend, a mentor, an advisor, a confidant, and someone I have looked up to for so many reasons.
Recent happenings in my life have made me focus so much on the present and future that I somehow feel more distant from the past than I really am. After all, your past is what makes your present being.
Being very content in my current state of being, I still miss my innocent childhood days when my parents were all I needed. No matter how busy or diluted I get, I will always continue to be the most important thing in their lives.
This one is for my father. I haven't seen him in four months, but I will see him very soon. I miss him and hope to have some amazing memories in the few days leading up to my big day.

Understanding fathers are one of God's greatest gifts, and I thank Him for giving me the best one he's made so far.

Cheers.
